OT: Around the NHL: That Bedard kid is okay at hockey

[Big Friggin Dummy]

The 1920s were a very different time in the NHL though, pixies.

Dammit, beat me to it. Although I was gonna go with the '40s.

Lou is just JR. They're both frauds that dramatically weaken how much prestige being in the HHOF really has.

It's almost like you shouldn't put the future of your franchise in the hands of men that know they likely will not be alive by the time deals they're signing are finished.

The NHL does the least in terms of making the all star game an actual event. It’s beyond stupid and boring and I get why so few watch that shit. Let alone it being hard to watch for most because of coverage.

But you have a lot of famous actors that love the NHL - Smulders, Reynolds, Sajak, Ferrell, Crowe, Bruckheimer, Bieber, Vaughn, Buble, Myers, Hamm, Fischer, Arnett, Leary, Kevin Smith, Warburton, and even that clown Drake is a Leafs fan. Getting them involved would make it the spectacle an AllStar game needs to be. Even getting Shaq there to DJ would be hilarious and awesome as he brings energy that is severely lacking at these.

It’s been a f***ing joke for the last 2-3 decades imo. NHL has the most boring leadership in charge.

Demko to me is a middle of the pack goalie, I think if they can draft or trade for a younger goalie and play it out, fine. Otherwise at that cap hit, why move him? He’s capable of the numbers he put up 2 seasons in a row before this disaster of a season. Although this season at times it’s the brutal defense that let the team down and also some very weak ass goals that make Fleury’s soft goals look like dangerous shots.

I really hope the Isles get lit up tonight.

I really hope the Isles get lit up tonight.

Had a dream Horvat had 3 goals 2 assists in his Isles debut.

But the name also said Tavares sometimes for some reason.

 

[Gurglesons]

disappointed to say Horvat and Barzal have chemistry

Thanks for brightening my f***ing day, Pixies...

Of course the Isles won and the Devils and Rangers are winning lol…if it wasn’t for bad luck, the Pens would have no luck at all lol

Isles still only with 2 goals vs a shit team. I'm not too worried about them...

Buffalo though? Different story.

Rangers now losing and Canucks tied it lol

Trouba's the epitome of that meme of the dude going crazy with champagne etc. on the medal podium but then it zooms out and he's like, 11th place.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Chychrun with two goals and Vejmelka with a .943 sv% tonight. The Coyotes GM is probably stoked.

According to Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, the 73-year-old Rutherford might already be in the one-foot-out-the-door camp from the Canucks.

Well all you gotta do, Big Jimbo, is exactly what you've been doin' for like the past 7 years and you'll be unemployed again in no time. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether he's fired or stomps off again in a pissbaby tantrum, full diaper and all.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Goddamn Rutherford.

 

[Extra Texture]

Please, Jim, if you're going to burn that place down, give us Garland for peanuts before you go.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I’ll settle for picks for Dumoulin.

I mean, if he's REALLY going to burn things down before he goes, I'd hope he gives us Pettersson and/or Hughes for our garbage we went to be rid of.

Looking at the standings around the league coming out of the all star break. Man… I’d love if Edmonton went on a loosing streak and missed the playoffs. It probably won’t happen. But they are sitting in a wild card spot right now and I would absolutely love to watch all the Edmonton fans melt down like they just opened the Ark in Indiana Jones if their team missed the post season.

I'd prefer picks for Dumoulin over Garland for free, tbh.

Anything to push McDavid and Draisaitl that much closer to demanding a trade out of that shithole.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I like how Kane acts like a super tough guy when the refs get Larkin tied up and Kane suddenly feels like a tough guy but Bertuzzi has enough of it and almost beats the shit out of that giant piece of shit.

If there is a just and loving god McDavid will end up wearing a LA Kings jersey when he leaves Edmonton.

With the Islanders joining the list of teams not bothering to wear pride jerseys/stick tape, it's like, what is the NHL even doing? If their member clubs don't want to celebrate pride, then maybe stop talking about inclusivity. If you're going to promote inclusivity, then maybe make it mandatory that all teams take part?

Like, pick a side. You're either all for inclusivity for ALL groups or just shut up and stop acting like you are when clearly some of your member teams aren't.

I mean, it’s because pride makes money let’s be honest.

Like most corporations, the NHL doesn't *really* care about anything else.

They'll say or do whatever they need to to keep getting money.
